On my way to get lunch yesterday, I fell. I landed on my right side. My cane handle hit my face, fortunately it has a soft covering, and I have some mild facial bruising. I also have lots of pain on my right side, an injured wrist, mild concussion (probably, based on my eyes not tracking), and a sprained ankle. I'm in the boot on the left side for the heel spur and an air cast on my right for the ankle. My current lurch is similar to Frankenstein's monster.

[livejournal.com profile] neotoma helped me get to urgent care, stayed with me through getting the prescription for tramadol, and took me home with her so that I'd have adult supervision per the doctor's instructions. She's also made me pancakes, giggled when she checked my eye tracking, and made a drug store run to get me a stool to use in the shower as trying to get out of a bathtub and trying to stand on two bad legs are neither of them good options. Definitely a good friend to have.

In short *whine!*

I've been fighting with my lungs again. Thanks to antibiotics and albuterol, I've nearly won. I had an infusion of albuterol at the doctor's office on Tuesday combined with a steroid. Let me say that there is nothing quite like being jittery (the albuterol) and slightly paranoid (the steroid) on public transportation.

I've been exhausted and dizzy. I've missed work, including having to take today as Leave Without Pay which I hate.

On the other hand, I spent the weekend before last up in Baltimore. [livejournal.com profile] dexwebster and her husband hosted me overnight and were lovely companions at the Walters Museum and several good meals. They also showed me all over the city including the hip neighborhoods, etc. I left with a ton of good vegetables from the farmer's market and a real sense of well being.

I adored the museum. The one thing we don't have in DC is a museum that includes Greek, Roman, and Egyptian statuary. The Walters Museum had a good selection of pieces that were well laid out. It was a great weekend.

A teacher is on suspension in South Carolina for reading Ender's Game to her class. The Guardian has an article.
